CapturedByGrace > "Colorado Columbine"
My first ever shot of a columbine, taken June 27, 2009.  I had never seen a columbine in the mountains before this.  Was walking along the road, looked to the left, and saw a group of these growing near some rocks!  I had to teeter on a fairly steep embankment to get this shot, but it was worth it!  God is an awesome painter of color.

CapturedByGrace > "Flowers & Cones"
Taken in June 2007.
I think these flowers are called Gaillardia Goblins.  Spotted these while exploring the grounds of one of my timeshares.  I thought they looked pretty along with the pine cones.
CapturedByGrace > "Small but Resilient"
Unidentified wildflower near Gold Camp Road in Colorado.  While photographing these delicate flowers, I marveled at how amazing it is that they can grow out of rocky areas like this, withstand heavy rains, yet remain this delicate-looking and beautiful.  Colorado has seen great rainfall this year, making for nice cloud cover, aiding saturation of colors.  God is such an amazing creator.

Profusion of aspen sunflowers and lupine below Gothic Mountain near Crested Butte, Colorado.

CapturedByGrace > "Aspen Aglow"
I was walking around in a meadow, and liked the way the sun was shining through the aspen trees, and then caught glimpses of sun rays coming through, just enough that would produce a sunstar effect. No filter was used.
Taken somewhere off of Phantom Canyon Road in Colorado, June 20, 2009.

Sneezeweed wildflowers point to a view of a peak from the ruby range west of Crested Butte, Colorado.
